Cameron Gone: Another Victory!

John Rees, from radical left activist group Counterfire, said confronting a possible “Tory coup” will require action “on the streets”.

He told CommonSpace: “Astoundingly, the Tories and their supportive press are not only trying to paint the SNP as illegitimate but also to declare illegitimate any Labour administration that relies on the SNP for support. This at the same time as the Tories are willing to rely on the deeply reactionary DUP and UKIP for support.”

“The immediate task will be to confront a Tory coup, if this is what happens, on the streets,” Rees added.

Well you cannot deny that one of the few good things to come out of the Brexit vote WAS the resignations of both Cameron and Osborne and the destruction of their political careers. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer couple. And before people say it, that doesn’t mean I think this is some sort of victory over the Tories. The “nasty party” has lots more nasty politicians waiting to fill their shoes as we are seeing under May. It is destroying the party and its ideas that matter, not individual politicians.

“The Brexit vote was a defeat for the working class in Britain as well as internationally. It was a defeat for internationalism and collectivism. Brexit was a victory for populist demagogy, xenophobes and racists. Brexit has already had detrimental economic effects and worse is likely to come.

Brexit has resulted in a more right-wing government. It means an already difficult period ahead will be even harder for the trade union movement and the working-class communities we represent.”

Cameron went through the Scottish referendum. That was a punishing and divisive time of flag waving and tribalism. And though the Unionist side prevailed, the Nationalists went from about 33% of the vote to 45%. The wave of Nationalism in Scotland has been very damaging. So having lived through that how on God’s earth did he put the country through it again in less than 2 years? At the very least, a referendum on nationalist lines stirs up a load of tribalism.
